MISSOULA (AP) — The defense rested its case Monday in the murder trial of a Montana man who shot and killed a German exchange student inside the man's garage. Markus Kaarma fired four shots into his garage early April 27, killing 17-year-old Diren Dede. He was alerted to Dede's presence in the garage by a motion detector. Prosecutors say that after a previous burglary, Kaarma was intent on harming an intruder when he shot Dede. Kaarma's attorneys say Montana law allowed him to use deadly force to defend his home. Defense l...
BILLINGS (AP) - A Colorado man was sentenced Monday to 80 years in prison for killing a Montana teacher in a case that emerged as a chilling example of the social changes brought by the Northern Plains' oil boom. Lester Van Waters Jr., 50, will not be eligible for parole for at least 20 years under the terms of the sentence, court officials said. Waters pleaded guilty last year to deliberate homicide by accountability. State District Judge Richard Simonton suspended an additio...
The anticipation level was high for the start of the 2014-15 boys basketball season along the Hi-Line. But as Box Elder and Rocky Boy proved last Thursday night, the wait was worth it. There were many great matchups played in the state last Thursday through Saturday but few can compare to the showdown between the Box Elder Bears, the defending Class C state champions, and the Rocky Boy Stars. The two rivals met in the opening game of the Native American Classic Thursday night...
Wednesday, Sens. Jon Tester and John McCain’s bill to reform the way in which Border Patrol employees get paid was unanimously passed at the U.S. House. Once the bill is signed by President Barack Obama, the pay system will be changed. According to a press release from the senators, the bill will reform the “complicated and inefficient overtime pay system and holds the Border Patrol more accountable for how it spends taxpayer money.” The bill is slated to save up to $100 million in taxpayers’ money a year. “This is a very go...

A larger-than-usual crowd gathered at the living Nativity scene at Van Orsdel United Methodist Church Saturday night. It was pretty much the same as it has been in recent years, said Ray Toth, who organizes the program. In fact, it was much like it was two millennium ago. For two hours every year, parishioners play the roles of Joseph and Mary, the wisemen, the shepherds and the angels. They stand in silence re-enacting the scene following the birth of Jesus. People come to...
“My Neighbor in Need,” a Great Falls-based organization that helps match needs with community support, will open an office in Havre early next year. Under the program, people who have a special need will call into My Neighbor in Need, which will post the need on its website and include it in a Havre Daily News column. Hopefully, people will respond to the need, and a My Neighbor in Need staffer will have the item delivered. For instance, said Dave Snuggs, founder of My Neighbor in Need, his group has found that many peo...

Havre High junior Dane Warp scored 60 points in two games this past weekend against Malta and CMR inside the HHS gymnasium. But his most important point was his last one.

The Havre High swim teams have a lot of time left in the pool before the Blue Ponies get to the pinnacle of their season — the 2015 Montana State Swimming Championships in Missoula in February.

There’s just something about the Havre Blue Ponies and the Mining City Duals. No matter the season, no matter the generation, the Blue Ponies are also in the mix at the prestigious dual tournament in Butte. And for the second straight year, the Blue Ponies left Butte as Mining City Duals champions. Saturday night, Havre edged defending Class AA state champion Great Falls High in the championship dual to claim yet another Mining City title under head coach Scott Filius. “I tho...
It was an up and down weekend for the Glacier Nationals. On one hand, they stopped a four-game losing streak. On the other hand, they missed a golden opportunity to win back-to-back games for the first time this season. The Nationals, who were playing at the Havre Ice Dome for the first time since travelling to Blaine, Minnesota, for the North American Tier 3 Hockey League Showcase, hosted the Bozeman Ice Dogs, for two games this past weekend. The two teams split with Glacier...
There was an electric atmosphere for the Havre Blue Ponies first home game since winning the Class A state girls basketball championship last season. And while the Ponies were hoping to open their title defense with a win, the Malta M-Ettes had something else in mind. Thanks in large part to a suffocating defense, the M-Ettes, Class B state runner-up to Fairfield a season ago, made a statement on the opening night of the 2014-15 season by upending the Ponies 62-41 at the HHS...
